A cult figure amongst skaters and graffiti artists, Barry McGee's drawings, paintings, and mixed-media installations take their inspiration from contemporary urban culture, incorporating elements such as empty liquor bottles and spray-paint cans, tagged signs, wrenches, and scrap wood or metal. McGee is also a graffiti artist, known by the tag "Twist."

Barry McGee is featured in the Season 1 episode "Place" of the Art21 series "Art:21 -- Art in the Twenty-First Century".

  • u did sell out. thats okay, everyone wants to sell out. what else do you have if you dont sell out - loneliness and debt.

  • @cultured510

    i still like his work, but it's a slippery slope

    wondering how others perceive whether you've sold

    out or not-especially 13 years olds that haven't had the

    experience of trying to support themselves let alone support

    themselves with their artwork. Hopefully he's inspiring some

    of those 13 year olds to make more art. :)

  • Twist is the man! I just found an ebay auction with actual "Dream TDK" and "Twist" signatures you have to check it out..just search "dream tdk" on ebay and it will come up.

  • @cultured510 id probably do the same thing.

  • yep. hes sold out

  • @pocahaunted thats not what he was getting at... he is just aware, ive seen a kid take off one of his stickers and put it in their blackbook...so it is just something to think about

  • yeah your opinion of yourself should hinge on that

    of 13 year olds....??!!
